What happens when you give a FilmStruck subscription to an inveterate writer of Shakespearean sonnets?

Robert Eggers' THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019)
If ever did a film need black and white
T'were this'un, as the light and shadows play
Across these faces, crazed and pure and right
Out of a William Blake book, I might say
(Check out those mad tableaus!), or, then again
From Goya. How did Jaren Blaschke not
Receive a shelf-full of awards, but then
I've not yet seen what beat him. Still, you've got
To hand it to him; nothing's looked like this
Since Hameister, perhaps. And yes, the cast
Chewed up the scene'ry well. I'd be amiss
To not shout out the gull unit, too. 'Vast!
I could go on and on about this one,
It's tense and crazy and it's lots of fun.
